My husband is a squid....
I was wondering if it was pure rarity that he would leave on his bike not wearing much gear but helas, once again I've had the confirmation yesterday that he is indeed a squid. He left the house wearing shorts, t-shirt and sandals. No gear whatsoever beside his helmet, and I can tell you if there was no laws in MA for that, he wouldn't be wearing one either. I say that because on Friday, on our way to Quebec, we were crossing thru NH and I saw a guy on a sportbike wearing a leather jacket, gloves, jeans and boots but...NO HELMET. What is the point of wearing all this gear if the part of your body that is most likely to get you kill if you crash is your skull??? So when I said something to that effect to my husband he answered to me "you're just saying that because you're jealous of him not wearing a helmet!" I said wtf? I will never be jealous of people not caring enough for their own life and safety and I will always wear a helmet on my bike even if I had the choice not too! Then he said to me that he wouldn't wear one if he had the choice (I remember riding in CT with him and he took his helmet off for the whole ride). I told him it would be pretty stupid to do that. Then he told me and I quote: "Your not my mom and it's none of your fucking business if I want to ride without a helmet" I terminated the argument by telling him that I'm not too sure it was none of our daughter's business if her dad would die for being careless....
He also called me over the weekend on my cellphone just to "let me know" that a girl was riding on the back of her boyfriend's sportbike, wearing a little top and really mini skirt, and she stood up on the bike reveiling nothing but her snatch, he told me she was wearing no underwear and that everyone got a good view of her genitals...WTF...he was all happy about it and not at all concern about a slut getting on a bike dressed like that, even less about the guy who let her on his bike dressed like that. I told him later maybe she should learn what is ROAD RASH so she would have to dress more properly next time...he told me "I" was fucked up for wishing that on someone else....wow.

I am with you on that topic V. I do not wish anything to happen to him, but he needs to learn the hard way I guess, or witness it happen to someone he knows and cares for. I have witnessed it one too many times, and I have seen the effects with and without gear. I dont care how hot it is I am wearing my gear! I'll be sweating like a nasty hog, but the jacket, gloves, helmet, boots and at least jeans stay on always. To each his own though! A helmet is a must no matter what! & as far as taking chances with kids at stake? Thats sounds to me, lack of concern and selfishness. In my own opinion and think it should go for anyone with a wife kids.. Family is always first, I dont care what it is your doing that you think is more important. YOUR WRONG. If your family isn't your first priority then you should not have a family.

But yes you do have a right to be a squid (we'll call it risky) if you really want to. It's your life/body. but when you have a family to care for. Uhm well there is nothing else to call it then irrisponsible and Stupid... Even without your own family, (Kids/Wife) you still have friends and relitives that would never want to see you in a state of vegitation or worse... I don't wish that apon anyone, even if I truely hated them.. Imagine the thoughts of your parents and close friends if they ever got news you were permanently disabled or dead because you were not wearing proper protection. I sure know if I was to be killed whether it be on my bike or not, my mother would most likely commit suicide. She has told me many times she could not bare the thought of it and could not live on.. Thats just how your family and close friends would probably feel as well.
Then the comment will be true when someone says your face looks zacry rike your ass!
